Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

[Mudball]

Nothing about gross misconduct?

Genuine question... why? assume it was not on school premises, or wearing a school uniform or snogging someone school related. We are making an assumption that the infection happened at the party. Is there a way to prove it?
If I was Rudy Gulianni, i would say, she got it from school and so she should be suing.

Good luck with that in front of an appeal.. There is no contract with the school about not-partying.
We dont know how many were at the Party.. what if it was a silent disco and everyone tested before hand.

On the other hand... black mark in my register.

Definitely can't see it being a dismissal offence but on the other hand, I don't think it'll do any promotion prospects any good.

People seem tone very lax about this ‘lockdown’ compared to the first.

Did a scientific test today!


Went out for our walk today along an A Road, around 35 metres. During March April 38/40/ 40 cars passed during the distance walked. Today it was 82. Over 100% increase.

Take responsibility folks.

REally hope this news about the vaccine is true, it does seem to be stacking up with the government actions so far. However I can see pubs/restaurants etc staying closed well into the new year. Its obvious that its lengthy exposure in indoor settings that transmits the virus, so to keep schools open something has to give, this could well be the reason the JSS has been extended to March

Same day of week, time of day, weather conditions? Need a lot more observations to draw a scientific conclusion. In any case, being in a car carries no risk of spreading Covid. it is what you do if and when you get out of the car that matters.

I get your argument but if everyone who has broken a "Covid" rule ( no matter how big or small) got the sack i suspect there wouldn't be many people left in employment.

Excuses all the time for people now. Time the pendulum swung the other way.

Sure you saw the !

It was a giveaway comment but for your info. similar time of day, no idea re other points you raised but appreciate your reply

Not really been out of the house since Wednesday so decided we'd go for our first walk to get some exercise. Went for a walk in Greenwich Park. My goodness there were so many people. Ok, I know that risk of transmission outside is pretty low but I know I'd have felt much more comfortable on the golf course with far fewer people. Only saying...

Depends who's in the said car, 1 household would be ok if staying within their own health board area, but 4 golfing pals would probably be a different matter .

Quick question. If you test positive, how long are you meant to isolate for as not sure. Assume cannot be until the end of symptoms as can have them for months. Is it a set 14 days or are there criteria you have to meet to end isolation. Not got it but interested to know if the day comes

10 days from symptoms or positive test date, providing your symptom (temperature) free for 48hrs.

I know this as I've had the text today to say my isolation period ends at 23:59 tonight.

True. I was assuming a compliant carload.

Some good news on the vaccine front, seems that Pfizer and BioNTech are there or there abouts.....as long as the mink don't put a spanner in the works!!

If I was Rudy Gulianni, i would say, she got it from school and so she should be suing.

Given that she has a duty of care to her charges, and assuming the normal level of stupidity from those who tend to post their antics on Faceache, partying all week in the current climate doesn't exactly sit well with that duty of care in my opinion. In her position I believe she should be held to a higher standard.

As it would be a civil rather than criminal case if it went anywhere, and as such the standard of proof is balance of probabilities rather than beyond all reasonable doubt, I'd say there's a good chance a case could be made in the current climate.

Out for a walk yesterday we noted how busy the main road past town was when we crossed around 1:30pm. A lot of traffic out there on essential business and individuals moving from one part of the country to another...first lockdown the road was basically empty.

That said at the same time our local park was busy - I guess a lot of families staying local for a walk or to play in play-parks or simply passing time that would have been spent visiting others or in having Sunday lunch out...

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Very hopeful news breaking from Pfizer on their vaccine...

[Edit] Ooops - wrong thread...

Roads were a lot quieter today than on Thursday and Friday. Can see people finishing off last week in the office before working from home this week.

Got back from Sweden yesterday and the tube was pretty much empty as I got on just before 9 pm. When I got off at Kings Cross to change lines I didn't see more than max 10 people as I was making my way to the Northern Line. That's not usually the case on a Sunday evening.

I agree to higher standards... but equally, not sure it will stand up... Some of our political masters (and their masters and dads) have broken the spirit of lockdown a few times. So i would argue it will be difficult to dismiss. I agree with Homer's point that, the optics are not good and it will affect promotion chances. BTW, i am assuming the facebook pics would have been taken down by now.

Yeah definitely noticed it this morning, even at rush hour is wasn't too bad.

Our 3 weekly big shopping trip today, and bearing in mind tomorrow sees the start of the municipality lockdown. Basically, you can't leave the town you live in, which isn't great if you live in a village.

Spanish supermarket - slightly busier than usual. Normal number of tills open. No problem getting anything, no bear shelves.
Iceland - totally rammed. Probably 20-30 cars in the overspill, usually none. A number of empty shelves, and lots of mutterings. Double the number of tills normally open, and queuing like I've never seen in there.

Brits panic buying.
